The church probably dates from the 12th and later centuries, although largely altered in the 19th century and has a 13th–century tower. The nave was rebuilt in 1805, probably including the south porch with Tuscan portico, and the chancel was restored in 1862. The roofs were re-laid and the porch restored in the later 19th century. In 1895 an organ chamber was built north of the chancel and new doors included a south door to mark the 1897 jubilee. A meeting room against the south wall was still accessed by an external stair. The tower was restored by Edmund Buckle in 1904 and the rest of the church by F. Bligh Bond in 1912 when the west gallery and the plaster ceilings were removed, the chancel arch was rebuilt, and a new panelled ceiling installed in the nave
The church was dedicated to the Holy Trinity by 1501.It remained a sole rectory until 1925 when it was united with South Cadbury. In 1975 they were separated and since 1987 it has been held with Corton Denham, Queen Camel, Sparkford, West Camel, and Weston Bampfylde
In 1291 the church was worth £5 6s.and was exempt from tax for poverty in 1517. In 1535 it was valued at £7 2s. gross and by the 1660s at c. £25.
The church has a medieval Bristol bell dedicated to St. Margaret, fragments of medieval glass in the west window, and a 15th-century font.

Congratulations to brujoy for FTF!
If anybody would like to expand this series please do. I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so that he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
